Rocketed to Earth as an infant from the doomed planet Krypton, Kal-El was adopted by the loving Kent family and raised in America's heartland as Clark Kent. Using his immense solar-fueled powers, he became Superman to defend mankind against all manner of threats while championing truth, justice and the American way!

A female Jenny Olson in Man of Steel instead of Jimmy Olson?

Now bear in mind that this is just a rumour and has not been confirmed yet by an official source so please take thi with a pinch of salt. According to an article on the Superman Homepage, an actress has been cast in a role of a female Jimmy Olson in the upcoming Man of Steel movie. Now if this turns out to be true, I won't be best pleased. There's no need to change the gender of a longtime supporting cast member for some unknown reason. But that's just my view. What do you guys say to this rumour if it turns out to be true?
